Feeling great.

Well, the depression kicked out, the mania ran it's course, and I stayed home and attacked the laundry room as a result. All I gotta do now is pass my courses and volunteering through that and I can coast on sanity for a lot longer this time.

It's funny how you can think you are doing so well and taking on new tasks, only to find that it is your illness is taking on new tasks. I have to admit that my big temptation is coastin on that edge of sane/insane for that extra adrenalin to get through each day and workload, to have the stress feel like it bounces off of me like pointy balloons. But, that is merely a false idea. I lack skills for coping with stress when it's me related. That's what sends me into overdrive. I find that If I don't put my foot down and say "uh, no. I'm not gonna do that chore/stuff today, I'm working on this.", I am saying "yeah sure" which can translate into
"sure, I like to make myself go nutsy-tennis." which in reality, I don't.

People that ask me to do things aren't aware of what I am about for that, and that's fine, it's myself I shouuld be aware of, and less co-dependant, and more able to say stuff like "actually, I'm too busy for that." and et cetera.
